Listening to this song when Im totally mad about something, it makes you realize what good music really is. It provokes an emotion inside of you, thats exactly what this song does. Eminem may be known for his dirty lyrics and choice language but he is one of the …

A-Punk is a song by Vampire Weekend which appears on their self-titled debut record. As with more Vampire Weekend songs, the track opens up with a very light-hearted guitar riff which simply radiates with feelings of youthfulness and playfulness. The vocals soon come in with the first verse and …

Nicki Minaj’s first release, Pink Friday, is probably the worst music purchase of my life. I bought the album sometime late last year in anticipation of it having “Knockout”, my favorite Nicki Minaj song, on it. You know the drill: I got to the store, couldn’t remember the name …

The Trial, the penultimate track of Pink Floyd’s concept record The Wall, is what I believe an excellent way to wrap up the story, or just about wrap up, and certainly a brilliant track in itself. For those of you who either have not heard The Wall or know …

Addict is a song by Slayer which starts off with a clean guitar playing an eerie sounding riff along with a simple drum pattern. This eerie atmosphere is nothing all that special but I like that it’s something different than Slayer’s typical just extremely fast and heavy tone, which …

I have seen John Legend before, during one of his duet performance with Mariah Carey in one of the award show, but he did not really strike me as an outstanding singer until I heard his song - Ordinary People.
I was practically speechless when I first heard it played …

Jay-Z finally speaks out about today’s crappy music! Thank God. “Death of Auto-Tune” aka “D.O.A.” is the first single and music video from his latest album (to be released this coming Fall) titled “The Blueprint 3″. Jay-Z is back with a …

David Allan Coe sings the song If That Ain’t Country. It’s an odd song at best that remind me of how people believe in stereo types. David Allen Coe has always been a good singer but I was shocked the first time I saw a video with him in …

I never heard of Jessie J before this song. When this song came out, I didn’t really want to check it out since I thought Jessi J was another ordinary chick. But then, I keep on seeing this song pop up on my facebook wall. I was like “Wow. …

“Green Machine” is the second song on Kyuss album “Blues For The Red Sun”. This critically acclaimed album was released 1992 and single-handedly defined the “stoner rock” and “desert rock” genres. The song itself was written by the bands drummer Brant Bjork and appears as one of two singles …

Ever since Arctic Monkeys burst onto the scene in 2006 with their debut album Whatever People Say I Am That Is What I Am Not there has been a growing interest about the British indie rock group. Combining lyrical wit with fast paced, edgy guitar sounds, the band …

The song ‘My home’s in Alabama’ is by the group Alabama. It is a good song that makes you think of home where ever that may be. For me it reminds me of what my mom used to say when I was a kid and the fact that we …

Looking at the CD cover of Baduizm by Erykah Badu, I am totally amazed. There is no close singer like Erykah Badu and I think her image is totally unique and very original. She is unpretentious and there are just so many good things about this CD album.
To …

No Cars Go is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second record, Neon Bible. Before getting into the bulk of this review, I should mention that this is a re-recorded version of a song that appeared on the band’s self-titled debut EP record. The song opens …

One of my favourite alternative rock bands since I discovered my love for rock music in high school is the band Chevelle. I discovered them in high school when I saw one of their music videos playing on MTV one day after school, and I fell even more in …

The Weeknd is definitely one of the most popular hitmaker right now. In case you are not familiar with his name, he was the one responsible for the huge hits “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills” which were streaming giants when they were released. He also contributed to …

‘Santa Claus is watching you’ this is a parity song by Ray Stevens. It is based on what many people tell their children when they are little that Santa Claus can see you when you are good and bad so you need to be good all the time. It …

One of my favorite cds right now is Gene Simmons ***HOLE. A lot of people may be turned off by the title, but I think if you listened to it, the title soon would be forgotten.
The CD contains thirteen songs, one of which bears the ***hole title. …

Alicia Keys is a phenomenal artist specializing in the R&B genre of music. One of my favourite songs from her is “You don’t know my name” from her “The Diary of Alicia Keys” album.
I personally wasn’t hooked on the song when I first heard it over MTV but I …

Alice Cooper is one of the surviving founding fathers of the Heavy Metal genre, and the inventor and CREATOR of on-stage heavy metal Horror! I have been a huge fan of Alice Cooper for countless years and have more or less every album he has released. He is a …

This one is filled with cover versions of various heavy metal, trash metal and hard rock bands like Misfits, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath, Motorhead and many others. Garage …

I’ve Got A Feeling is a song by The Beatles which appears on their final record, Let It Be. The song starts off with a nice guitar riff before McCartney comes in with a pretty tame vocal delivery, tame in comparison to the delivery that he reaches by the …

Beer for my Horses was one of Toby Keith’s biggest hits which was accompanied by country music legend Willie Nelson. It is a great song and it makes us think about what we would really like to do today to those who don’t pay attention to the laws. It …

For the band Skid Row, their image may be best defined by their larger-than-life frontman Sebastian Bach and his powerful, soaring screams but one cannot dismiss the fact that the band’s over-all sound is the key ingredient in
making Skid Row one of the most noted rock outfit to ever …

When I watched the movie Step Up 3d there was a scene in which the actors where all breakdancing and the main actress and actor were showing their moves together, and the song had a really beat to it and it really stuck on my mind. I searched for …

Winter Winds is a song by Mumford and Sons which appears on their debut record, Sigh No More. Like with most of the tracks on this record, the song opens up with the very characteristic sound of Mumford and Sons which is comprised of instrumentation which generally does not …

The Cranberries was one of the most famous rock bands of the 90’s. On 1999 they released “Promises” as a single of their “Bury the Hatchet” album. That song was a major hit and is my favorite Cranberries song and one of the best songs from the 90’s.
The song …

Overview —“ The Four Horsemen, the second track off of Metallica’s debut record Kill —˜Em All, is actually a song which is written from a much more complex standpoint than the opening track, Hit The Lights, at least in my opinion. I generally don’t associate Kill —˜Em All with …

Sometimes in life we have conflict with those we never dreamed that we would. They are not nice times but we strive to get through them and after a turbulent 12 months I listened to this song and it made so much sense to me.
With the performer being male …

Down By The Seaside is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on Physical Graffiti. Down By The Seaside starts out with a guitar introduction by Page, which has some type of effect on it which I’m not really sure how to classify. Plant then joins in with a …

Early Mornin’ Rain is a cover performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Self Portrait. The song starts off with a very lighthearted feel as most of the instruments all come in at once and a harmonica takes the lead spot for the intro of this track. …

I think these guys for the most part are fabulous. I have played violin for 18 years and while I don’t know that they played such a complex song to get them really noticed, they are innovative and smart and I think they have something going. They are cute …

There are few progressive bands that have had as much influence on modern indie/progressive music as At The Drive-in. With a large library of amazing songs, it is hard for any of them to stand out above the others, not because some of them are so bad, but because …

Overview —“ Haunting The Chapel, Slayer’s first EP, is three tracks which pass by incredibly fast and all have an extremely aggressive feel to them. The drumming by Lombardo, who is one of the few drummers who I actually tend to pay attention to, is excellent as always and …

This Dishwalla song is from the 2002 album, Opaline. Out of all the songs on this album (one of them is “Angels and Devils”) Every Little Thing is the best and I’m not saying for this album only but with all of the songs they have ever done. When …

I really love the band No Doubt, and I pretty much am not sure whether they are still around or not. My boyfriend got me this DVD version of No Doubt - The Videos and I watched it like 3 times already the minute he had given me this …

Cobwebs is a song by Animal Collective and the third track on their 2008 EP, Water Curses. Opening up with a random collection of sounds, Tare joins in the mix and the song seems to try to create a hypnotizing atmosphere which works nicely to some extent. Although I …

Ryan Leslie, an artist / producer, classically trained in piano - has everything an artist needs, right? Well, that’s where it all goes wrong - he has too much. I’ve been a fan of Ryan Leslie since 2007, watching all his YouTube videos, and frequently checking his production credentials …

Released in August of 1990 this album caused an uproar at it’s shocking album cover and gruesome brutal lyrics, this album was banned in Germany and shunned by MTV, they got absolutely no airplay and had no help promoting the album, and this hardly slowed the band down, this …

Who would of thought that the drummer of Underoath would start his own band. But he did and it’s called the Almost. This is the first CD released by the band and I must say that it is a very awesome piece of work. This shows a whole different …

Mr. Holland’s Opus is a really wonderful story that most everyone should be able to relate to in one way or another. Our life on this planet is so short in the scheme of things, and for many, they long to do something that says, ‘I was here’. …

“Hey now! Hey now!. This is what dreams are made of”, from a movie soundtrack Lizzie Maguire is the song that inspired me to reach my dreams. Many people said that its okay to think of something impossible, or sometimes what we cal “dreaming”, because its just a dream …

I’m been listening to Invincible by Muse over and over for the last few days so I figured that I just had to write a review about it. The reason I started listening to the song was because Bellamy’s guitar solo on this track was praised so heavily for …

Aaliyah ft. Missy Elliot and Timbaland

I had a chance to listen to the new Jay-Z album which is the Blueprint 3, and it is one of my most favorite music albums of the year. This is Jay-Z’s 10th album and even at almost 40 years old, he is still one of the best rap …

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually a fan of upbeat, post-punk, bop-your-head-and-tap-your-toes Rock, but I unshamedly admit that when I put on ‘Almost Here’, not only does my head bop, but my whole body follows along in a strange, convulsing, toe-tapping mess.
The Academy Is’ first album, ‘Almost Here’, …

New, New Minglewood Blues is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their self-titled debut record. This track is a cover but it sounds as if The Dead certainly add their own character and style to this track. The song opens up with a lighthearted moving guitar …

If you are a big fan of Miley Cyrus, it’s best to get this Hannah Montana 3 Soundtrack. It has some nice sounds and up-tempo beats and Miley’s voice is as golden as ever. She has this really great and awesome talent and definitely nice sounding. Very …
